Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review
ABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Walking With Dragons: Performance, the Sensorial, and Urban Change in Vancouver, Canada
ABSTRACT This article discusses the “Dragon Walk” project, a series of guided walks and participatory art‐based community gatherings purposefully located in one of Vancouver's major redevelopment landscapes, the Cambie Corridor. Adopting a “cats' cradle” approach to thinking and writing, I follow Dragon Walk's suggestion that we look at urban change ...

Anomalously Fast Core and Envelope Rotation in Red Giants
Red giants undergo dramatic and complex structural transformations as they evolve. Angular momentum is transported between the core and envelope during this epoch, a poorly understood process.

Downlisting and recovery of species assessed by the IUCN
Abstract Despite the increasing number of species assessed for extinction risk by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (163,040 species as of 2024), only about 1 in 1,000 have been downlisted due to genuine population improvement. Although this rare conservation achievement has been widely celebrated in several recent cases, some ...

Evidence of Third Dredge-up in Post-AGB Stars in Galactic Globular Clusters
To better understand the mixing and mass loss experienced by low-mass stars as they ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), I have gathered from the literature the abundances of CNO and s -process elements in post-AGB stars in Galactic globular ...
